My first wood stove...a long time coming

Nice! We have the same stove but in red. It’s great — you’re gonna love it. Heats up our 1000 SF house quite well.



This was last February, burning walnut and oak mill ends.

 

Congrats on your home and stove. Hope your kitchen install is going well.

 

The South. I live in Toronto. But our property is 2hrs SW of here. Pretty much across the lake from Erie, PA.

 

Very nice.

 

That poplar will be ready in 9 months.

 

Would love to see a couple pics of the new place, Grand.

 

I don't have many pictures, surprisingly. Mostly took pictures of stuff being built so we could go over with various trades.

However, first picture is the exterior of the residentiak part. Single level, four foot foundation. Wanted a clean/modern look. Second picture is the 40'x60' shop. Yes, very high ceiling. I plan on playing basketball at one end. Kids too.

 

Wow! I love it!
And that shop is almost big enough. Lol

 

All ya need is place to flop a cot in the corner and a countertop to cook on in the other...the rest is "shop", right?!
Congrats GG...looks good!!

 

Well, they do have that framing technique where they basically do (2) 2x4 walls, an inner and an outer, where the studs are staggered and do not touch...supposed to be higher R value that way...can't remember what its called...here, well this is thicker than 8", but same idea.

Then there are these...and they are slick! Should keep the plumbers and electricians happy too!

2x6 or double stud (exterior) walls is code here now.

 

Congratulations on y'alls dream coming true. Nice stove, house and view.

 

Always exciting to me to hear of someone putting up a new build with a wood stove.I'm happy for you.Since your buying wood check out Canawick compressed hardwood blocks .They're made in Canada and heat very well in case you can't get really seasoned wood this late in the season.You can burn them alone or mix with semi seasoned wood to get the good heat going.

 

Awesome looking house and that shop...
